I got the files and a colleague of mine at Sveriges Riksbank tried to patch it for UNISYS A-series with Swedish national charaters. The code was good but it was not possible to change it for our national swedish characters because there was not a usable entry point for a patch like this. It compiled ok, but our Swedish national characters prevented it from working. We are running another Kermit on the A10 machine but that can only use 94 bytes packages. I can't explain it better than this because I am not working with the UNISYS mainframe any longer. Changes has been done for this other Kermit but all changes has been done in the NDL, (Network Definition Language) and not in the Kermit algol source. --Bo Kullmar
